Along with the old center of
town it is represented by: the industrial area in the west; a relatively new residential
area in the north; the region up to the Käfertal Forest, Käfertal North; the American
Benjamin-Franklin-Village, Käfertal South; and finally the "Rott", where new
residential houses have been being built since 1993. Käfertal has a total of over 20,000
residents.

Only the old-established families of farmers and craftsmen
represented the social structure of the town towards the end of the last century. But then
came the influence of the growing population of factory workers with the expansion of the
industrial settlement on the former Käfertal landmark.

Today the factory workers have fully
integrated into the social life Käfertal making it what it is: a modern suburb in which
the citizens keep to their traditions and characteristic pecularities, but at the same
time approach new and different things open-minded and integrate newcomers into their
community. Käfertal is a cultural smorgasbord consisting of families of Italian, Spanish,
Croatian, Serb, Greek and Turkish heritage. While the grandparents arrived to only work
here for several years and then return to their home country, their grandchildren have
settled here permanently. This gives Käfertal a high-quality international gastronomy and
adds to the already attractive shopping.

One characteristic of Käfertal that many visitors
describe is the calmness with which things are done around here. Most things are tackled
and successfully completed in an understated way. This can be seen particularly in the
engagement of the clubs of Käfertal.

The suburb is not only a center of the Carneval with
its famous "Löwenjäger" that extend far beyond city limits, but also for the
street festival of Käfertal that happens every June almost like a southern Fiesta.

Former habitants of Käfertal from all over the world show up every
year at the street festival, stay with friends for three days, and on Sunday night
announce with teary eyes that they will be back next June. One used the following words
when saying goodbye:
